Ideas:
 * I can't remember if I ever sent you the notes from the one Shakespeare meeting, but either way here they are. Maybe next week during our meeting we can decide what activities we want to do for the grade level pairings that Drew mentioned in his email. ||
 * === [|From Evernote:] === ||
 * = Shakespeare Day = ||
 * New date needed - 8th grade is gone to D.C. on April 25th
 * How about May 2nd? Under consideration...
 * Preference voiced from middle school that we do not do Romeo and Juliet, since they use it in drama. Are we doing Midsummer Night's Dream?
 * Some kind of all school event on football field or gym - human microphone activity with monologue or dialogue. In addition to assembly or in place of the assembly.
 * Try to find pairings of different grade levels that can do line-feeding activities together
 * 8th and 4th grade pairing -
 * Make posters - Shakespeare Day and Shakespeare words
 * Some reading together
 * 8th and 1st grade pairings -
 * Making crowns
 * Could they make props or costume pieces for the 4th grade Midsummer Night's Dream musical?
 * 9th and 5th
 * Language activities - metaphors?
